Former MMA fighter turned actor Gina Carano has signed a deal to join the cast of the Ryan Reynolds film "Deadpool", an adaption of the Marvel Comics character being produced by 20th Century FOX, which has the rights to the X-Men and their associated characters.
Carano will be playing a character named "Angel Dust."

This will be Reynolds' second run as Deadpool, following the forgettable X-Men Origins: Wolverine film. The stand-alone film will attempt to resurrect Deadpool as a film franchise character
